A virus doesn't mean that the world would end, and I had heard that a major meteor might hit the earth sometime in the next few thousand years.

There are viral outbreaks all the time. That is why doctors encourage people to take flu shots every year. I think that if anyone had discovered a meteor that might hit the earth, it would be very widely reported. Fact is that humans only very recently began any organized search for meteors that might hit the earth. What they have found is that there are lots of big rocks zipping around our solar system and we have a very big job ahead of us to even find one that might hit us. What we can do if we find one is another big question.
Chances are that the world is not going to end in 2012 and, if you look at history, there have been many many times when someone has predicted the end of the earth is coming but, so far, they have always been wrong.

I haven't heard about the world ending by a viral out break ending the world but, a meteor could hit any time soon. I have heard though that the world could be flooded by 2012. Hey, anything is possible.

I heard it was 2028, on Hilary Clintons birthday, when the magnetic poles are meant to switch. But people are constantly coming up with new theories so i wouldn't count on it.
Making every day matter is probably the best bet!

If you also believe that the Mayan calendar also ends, then yes, the world may very well end in 2012.
